BBC News - Antarctic rescue: Chinese vessel 'may now be stuck in ice'

[pjclarke]

Wiki on Mawson ...

After a brief service, Mawson and Mertz turned back immediately. They had one week's provisions for three men and no dog food but plenty of fuel and a primus. They sledged for 27 hours continuously to obtain a spare tent cover they had left behind, for which they improvised a frame from skis and a theodolite. Their lack of provisions forced them to use their remaining sled dogs to feed the other dogs and themselves. [...]

When Mawson finally made it back to Cape Denison, the ship Aurora had left only a few hours before. It was recalled by wireless communication, only to have bad weather thwart the rescue effort. Mawson and six men who had remained behind to look for him, wintered a second year until December 1913

The Spirit of Mawson indeed ...Plus ca change,

global sea ice is at an all-time high for this time of year, breaks all previous records.

I doubt the eco-loons down in Antartica will be arguing with that

What climate change? Fewer people than EVER believe the world is really warming up | UK | News | Daily Express

The one thing we can be sure about is that "belief" in global warming is on the wane, which is a humiliating blow to people who believe in CAGW.

When believers spout the line "nearly everyone believes CC is real", unbelievers say "that doesn't matter, most people are ignorant". But when the exact same metric, using your opponent's argument supports you, suddenly it becomes worth using?

You and pj are as bad as each other, neither of you cares what's actually true, only about getting people to agree with you by any means available.

Years and years ago, when I were a lad, we had the Soviet Union and the Berlin wall.
We had socialist workers, Trots and all sorts.

There was a real fear that the world would end in a nuclear fireball, and we had a real enemy, albeit in a cold war.

When the Berlin wall came down, we discovered what the Soviets thought of our socialists and trots. our 'enemy within'

They called them 'useful Idiots'

The same people are still here, but the Berlin wall has come down so they are no longer useful.

Rather than call them 'useless idiots' I use the shorthand 'eejits'

I have no idea nor any real inclination but how do you explain this (where I live) as it seems to be warmer now than 100 years ago?

When believers spout the line "nearly everyone believes CC is real", unbelievers say "that doesn't matter, most people are ignorant". .

I never said that...

Are you spouting nonsense to make your point.

Happy New Year by the way
